just left and haven't looked back, I'm not using the stupid default reddit app

Lemmy is catching up on Reddit. The technical forums/c/r are not as useful yet, and not enough of the hardware suppliers monitor the/their Lemmy communities.

Once that changes over I don't need Reddit.

Left due to the API stuff due to Apollo getting axed. Loved that Christian recorded their calls and exposed how crappy they were for blaming things on him. Fun drama, but I left and never looked back.

It’s still a bit of an echo chamber of sheep in here but I haven’t really tried different servers to find like minded ppl. I like the mod of the server I’m on and that’s cool for me for now.

Still on both but I'm not actively going on Reddit anymore. Only when Lemmy World can't be reached by my Sync app (which has usually more to do with my connection than Lemmy) or when I click links from people. I've refrained from commenting there anymore and will likely wipe it soon enough, after I get around to wiping my Meta posts (can't delete my whole account since I have friends and family still using it, but I definitely want to "hollow it out" if that makes sense).

I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.

But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.

I like Lemmy since its mostly about Tech but even the small communities over on Reddit can be more engaging then communities over here. I am involved in Trading cards and there just not the same community over here for it

I like lemmy more.

I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments

Still unbanned even though I blacked out /r/piracy then actively pushed our community here until the only people left in /r/piracy were the bootlickers who wanted to reopen it and continue as usual. I never go to reddit anymore except to agitate for moving to lemmy.

There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

Lemmy is going to the local store and Reddit is going to the mall.

You can get banned on Reddit? I thought you can only get banned by those sweaty mods.

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

I've had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I've had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I'm still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises "looked nasty".

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can't comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there's eleventy billion versions of the same community.

I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.

I like Lemmy. Reddit is too corporate now

I have already saved subreddits I liked on bookmarks, but after so many suspensions and bans for literally stupid reasons I had enough of this cesspool which is reddit and surprisingly I feel a lot better, I think reddit takes way more than it gives to anyone, I use lemmy moderately and that's the way things should be with anything, not sure I will ever get back on reddit again

Wasn't banned. left due to Corporatism.

I was banned off reddit doing to standing up to the r/seculartalk mod Liam and him throwing a little bitchy fit when I used my alts to warn users he was banning them for disagreeing with them. The site then banned me for circumventing his sub ban.

The spez protests led to a lot of people sharing alternatives on Reddit and when I heard there was an open source alternative, checked it out and saw posts about Linux and beans I knew I'd never go back.

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

I prefer this community.

Got sick of seeing the same anger farming shit every day, then found out about the luigi censorship and just left. Honestly best choice. I'm enjoying lemmy so far, and the control I have over my experience.

I am the one who bans

I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I'm realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I'm noticing that it wasn't that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.

I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.

I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn't good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.

But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.
